Situation Before Implementing Oracle ERP Cloud

The School District faced significant operational challenges with its legacy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, Infor Lawson. The district determined that it was no longer viable or sustainable for future operations and required an upgrade to a modern cloud solution.

The client sought to gain operational efficiencies and improve productivity across its core functions (financials, human resources, supply chain, budgeting, and projects and grants), with budget preparation and reporting as a key focus area. Strategic objectives for the district in this endeavor included:

  • Enhance core finance, human resources, supply chain, projects, and payroll functions within the district
  • Modernize budget preparation and reporting
  • Increase overall efficiency in district operations
  • Improve service levels within all schools and departments

AST’s Cloud implementation helped the District modernize budget preparation and reporting capabilities, increasing overall efficiency in district operations.”
